Supported all functions of member's zone. Has added toplist to the system, you will provide yours members with comfortable service and, in addition, promote your toplist by gathering other webmasters, who uses this service.

Toplist has a multilevel anti-cheat protection and traffic filtration system, which gives you a possibility to sieve low-quality traffic and increase the toplist output considerably.

TopList completely written in C++ and much faster than the analogous scripts written in perl/php. It allows to noticeably decrease server upload and at the same time gives additional possibilities to its users.

Toplist has a flexible and convenient system of adjustment, which allows adapting it to different task performances. Although of a great variety of functions toplist is optimized and steady.

Demo version:

Anti-cheat protection — Toplist has a powerful anti-cheat protection system. More than 10 mechanisms used in the script of the toplist make any kind of the cheating attempts almost impossible. Toplist has the Auto Blocking feature. It blocks member if he is trying to cheat and unblock him when normal traffic properties will be reached. Also it can decrease Hits In for members with bad traffic quality. Traffic properties at which will occur members blocking or IN-Hits decreasing are specified by administrator. These functions can be separately turned off for exception of erroneous blocking. Toplist gives a full and detailed graphic statistics of cheating attempts.

Reliability — Our team has been working on toplist and CGI applications developing since the year of 2000 and we know about the reliability of such programs from our own experience. We have created a fully automated toplist, which does not require additional software or any special OS server setup. Automatic database backup with file rotation and compression allows fast restoring of toplist operability in case of server breakdown. Disk space control allows making the most efficient use of server disk space and you will not have to worry about disk quota exceeding. As the toplist does not use MySQL, Php and cron it does not depend on their operability. Thus you are insured against any bugs in the work of these services (languages), which will help you to save time, money, and nerves.

Efficiency and productivity — We have chosen the optimal ways of information storage using binary databases. It allows increasing the speed of reading and processing of information. Applying toplist algorithms in C++ language, allows using server resources in the most flexible and rational way. It considerably decreases server upload thus increasing toplist operating speed giving additional advantages in comparison with other languages. Usually a big number of functions and adjustments in script does not contribute to its operating speed. We understand that and do not try to add doubtfully useful features which can have a negative effect on the operating speed. We make high demands of the frequently used functions trying to increase their operating speed to the maximum. Our goal is to create a highly efficient toplist without detriment to its operating speed.

Functions — The toplist has a big number of functions and possibilities a full list of which you can read below. Among them there are some unique functions such as WAP administration, built-in mail client (MailBox), setup utility program, mail form for message sending. There are additional modules such as a system of adding members to a few toplists simultaneously (MultiAdd); the system for managing of multiple toplist accounts (DF™ Toplist MultiMembers)); random toplist site redirection (RandomURL), toplist searching engine (Finder), payments reception and members management system (Merchant)New.

Installation above other toplists without traffic loss — Our toplist can be installed above your toplist with the preservation of all members and entrance links. Webmasters will not have to register again or change toplist entrance links promptly. We already do have an experience of installing our script above AutoRank Pro, Solution Top Sites Pro, Professional Toplist and other toplists.

Modernization — you know modern Internet technologies are developing rapidly and that is why we do not stop working on improvement of our toplist. When implementing new functions we pay attention to the needs and suggestions of Webmasters and try to make our toplist efficient and at the same time easy to use. If you have any ideas or suggestions concerning the improvement of our toplist we would appreciate you sharing them with us and do our best to realize them in further versions of the toplist.

Technical support — We install our toplist free of charge and will always advise you on its usage in case you have any troubles. Our team will help you to solve quickly any problems connected with toplist adjustment (in some cases we will need toplist password or ftp access).

Interested but still having doubts? We can give you a possibility to test our toplist before purchasing it.
